Scouts May Back Off on No-Gay Policy

Groups sponsoring troops would decide

January 29, 2013

NEW YORK (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America may soon give sponsors of troops the authority to decide whether to accept gays as scouts and leaders — a potentially dramatic retreat from an exclusionary......

Loghog-are you suggesting that you would have more respect for homosexuals and see them as "moral" if they were liars and/or in denial and kept their sexuality totally to themselves to prevent any conflict and so they could participate with a degree of justice? This would prevent others from feeling uncomfortable. Maybe they could take a woman out every friday night and be seen just so others do not judge. Would it really be that hard to mislead folks? Oh, I know some who have tried that here in wheeling and guess what-they are still gay. There are hate crimes against gays, and when the "moral" folk get the idea that the gay are feminine weak men and the numbers are small, they can get away with it. There are some pro athletes that would kick butt, but they are not coming out because of the ignorance. So they get to be liars as well. They get to pretend. Well for all heterosexuals, how would you like to have to pretend you are gay to keep peace, pretend that you ar

NEW ORLEANS – San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver has made inflammatory comments regarding homosexuality in football just a few days before Super Bowl XLVII.

Shock jock Artie Lange revealed he had interviewed Culliver at media day Tuesday and aired a segment on his show that night, where the player insisted that any gay players would not be welcome on the team.

"I don't do the gay guys man," said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. "I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.

"Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah…can't be…in the locker room man. Nah."

When quizzed by Lange whether any homosexual athletes would need to keep their sexuality a secret in football, Culliver responded: "Yeah, come out 10 years later after that."

Wonder what the NFL's policy is? Will Goodell kick it down to the team level?

After giving this more thought. I must say it all depends upon each person and if they have any morals. re read the posts here including mine...all have some truth and all have some that well just does not...My question is why would anyone who is gay that wants to be a scout leader say they are gay and then say they have a right to be a leader? Why not just be the leader and not discuss it? Unless the gay guy is feminine acting the boys wouldn't know..unless the gay guy is also a boy molester...sad truth is many humans will do just about anything to anyone to get off...any scout leader should be looked at as a school teacher...and judged by their actions...the boy scouts is about teaching boys how to become great men...it's not there for the perverted pleasures of adults.

bloomin, daWeeb just basically stated that as a heterosexual male he should not be trusted to be around a group of little girls. I don't know about daWeeb but I can assure you that I could be a girl scout or a boy scout leader and a sexual thought would never enter my mind.

GETACLUE

daWeeb..... STATISTICS 101 there is the same chance that they would molested by a heterosexual as there is of them being molested by a homosexual. The instance of pedophilia is roughly the same % in both groups. You either have a yearning to molest children or not sexual orientation has absolutely nothing to do with it. Fact most pedophiles are HETEROSEXUAL MALES....... LOOK IT UP!

THEY DON'T KNOW THEY DON'T KNOW! I don't remember the slightest degree of claiming partisan dominance in the quest for civil rights in America. My effort was to demonstrate the display of bigotry, ignorance and prejudice among those foolish enough to believe they could influence rational thought.

GETACLUE

daWeeb.... "Not all gays are child molesters, in fact about the same % as heterosexuals."

Your first sentence voids the entire rest of you post. Since the same % are child molesters the chances of the scout being molested by a hetrosexual male scout leader is the same as being molested by a gay male scout leader.
